10 weeks, with most sessions scheduled in the evenings (generally three sessions per week). These programs often require some family involvement. Costs are generally one-third to one-half of intensive inpatient treatment. Outpatient Follow-Up Services. Patients discharged from intensive treatment may need further help. This may be an outpatient follow-up program lasting several months to a year or more. One visit per week is typical. Many inpatient and intensive outpatient treatment plans include weekly follow-up sessions at no additional cost. Your SAP will develop a treatment program that best meets the needs of the employee in a cost-effective manner. The SAP should take the following issues into consideration when evaluating a treatment program’s effectiveness and making a treatment referral. • Cost. High cost does not guarantee effectiveness. Conduct a cost comparison of programs. Cost disparities may result due to the number of professionals per bed, hours of one-on-one counseling and group therapy, days of treatment, amount of aftercare counseling, or extent of other medical resources utilized. • Reputation. Ask other substance abuse professionals and former program participants for their candid opinions. • Staff qualifications. A quality program should have a balance of Chapter 9. Substance Abuse Professionals, Rehabilitation, and Treatment professionals. Nurses, physicians, psychologists, social workers, and formerly dependent counselors should staff intensive inpatient programs. There should be medical management of detoxification. All professional staff should be statecertified treatment specialists or counselors interning for certification. • “Whole person” approach. Chemical dependency is caused by many factors – childhood development, psychological instability, heredity, social environment, and lifestyle behaviors. A quality program should meet all needs – physical (diet and exercise), social (communication skills), psychological (individual and group counseling), intellectual (education and awareness sessions), and spiritual. Although treatment and rehabilitation is not required under the FTA regulations, a policy, which tries to reclaim human resources, should be carefully considered. At first glance, it may seem inappropriate to allow anyone to work again who has demonstrated a high-risk behavior such as drug or alcohol abuse. However, trained, skilled labor is a valuable resource, which demographic studies indicate may become increasingly difficult to obtain and retain. You should consider employee replacement costs, as well as the impacts on work productivity and morale as you evaluate the cost-effectiveness of rehabilitation services. 9-10 August 2002
